Covering Media - Illustration Annuals

I came across this entry this morning over at the Covering Media blog. The author covers the medal winners of the top three annuals, going back to the beginning of inception. Society of Illustrators, American Illustration Annual and Spectrum winners are listed. I checked out the SI wiki and see Gary Kelley has the top spot with 12 gold and 15 silver medals... WOW!

Here's the link to check the tally... Didn't I see your name up there too?
